I had nightmares for years after seeing the movie thinking he was coming to get me.

Compared to him the Terminator is a quitter.

I agree...top 5..... Night of the Hunter is a classic.

"Children.....Children...."

That still gives me the creeps.

My pick is

Darth Vader.

Ditto. I managed to catch that movie at age 7, and it remains the only film that scares me to this day.

I read the book before I saw the movie. The book is a masterpiece of terror. There is a quote by HP Lovecraft that says something about the greatest horror being that which is unseen.

You see the statue of the demon in the Middle East when Father Damien is digging on the archaeology site, and the shadow in the background during the exorcism, but nothing else. The power of what is suggested is brilliantly wrought.

And the scene with the dogs fighting between father Damien and the statue of Pazuzu in Iraq is so evocative of the struggle between the priest and the demon for the possession of the little girl. Give me chills just thinking about it.
